For an undergraduate thesis, I was looking into random terrain generation with fractal Brownian Motion. However, I abandoned the idea because I didn't think it would be worthwhile. I actually still have books on fractals from the library that are probably a month overdue o_O.

Anyways, I'm not sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but I thought it might be interesting to use this technique to generate random "Hide and Seek Hills" style maps. It might give people a somewhat "new" experience every time they play on the server.

The generated terrain looks very nice, and there are some variables to control how the terrain is generated. However, I haven't looked into this in-depth. I might do this when I have more time, because right now I hardly have enough.

Very nice. The one with small bump[s rather than hills would be great if tanks could drive over things that aren't flat.

Thanks for sharing this one. I'm sure it could be useful for some map scenarios.

The only downside I might see is the map file would eventually get so large it would take forever to download.

Also only some clients could handle a map of that size and detail

Looks cool though
